ways to combat pollution. The message can be, easily, absorbed by very young readers. The
suggestion weaves itself into the story which remains the story of a lonely duckling throughout and the duckling jumps out of the book as an adorable pet.
Pictures paint the word and the adorable duckling in vivacious colors. The background of the Himalayan scenery is soothing in soft hues of the colors of nature, where the Asha, Panna, and other characters lift the pages painted in dashing pastels. The total effect is comfortingly gorgeous.
